Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Prayer
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is Prayer.
A conversation with God on a daily basis is good for our soul and builds life’s most important relationship.
James 5:16 tells us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Martin Luther once said, “I have so much to do today that I should spend the first three hours in prayer.”
Prayer is a powerful way to seek after God’s own heart and to know Him better. We can pour out our anxious thoughts to God at His throne of grace. He loves us and listens to the cares of our heart.
When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, this is what He said in Luke 11:2 to 4:
“Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.”
Prayer is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.
